Chapter 92, 21 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى
By the day as it appears in brightness.
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
By Him Who created male and female.
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
إن سعيكم لشتى
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
And believes in Al-Husna.
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
إن علينا للهدى
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
الذي كذب وتولى
Who denies and turns away.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وسيجنبها الأتقى
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
